Advent Calendar Extravaganza with Taheerah Atchia

First, let me tell you about the Extravaganza! Here are a few words from Taheerah!

So here’s what I have for you … in honor of the big celebration.

Made this guy with Technique Tuesday’s Snowflakes and Sparkle and Shine dies, as well as the Marquee Label die and Planner – December Story stamp set.

I was going for kinda of a chalkboard look so I adhered the snowflakes on black cardstock and then used my finger to rub (liberally) some white ink all over them. Then I added an enamel dot the middle of each snowflake.

And remember: it’s not a party without a prize – and with prizes every day there are several chances to win!

Your ‘winter wonderland’ of colourful snowflakes is gorgeous; a delightful palette and oh, how pretty those dies are! Thank you so much for being part of Taheerah’s Extravaganza; my festive spirit is soaring in seeing your card!

This is really beautiful! I’m a huge fan of using non-traditional colors on Christmas cards. Always such a surprise. Cute and clever way to attach the sentiment too. Overall, just a beautiful and fun card. TFS!

I really love your technique here! The softness of the white ink really looks perfect on the black cardstock, giving that chalkboard look you were going for, and also adding some snow magic to those snowflakes! I’m excited to try this technique out soon! Thanks for sharing. 🙂

I don’t h ave a die cutter, boo hoo! LOL However, these look just like some metal brads that I have! I wish I could show them to you because they do look just like them. They are so pretty! I love snow and snowflakes and saw a close up of a snowflake that someone took with a very special camera. It was so amazing! I don’t like when they get all full of dirt from all the sand trucks and plows. I like it when it’s just pristine, kind of like your card. Don’t get any sand truck dirt on it! LOL
